Aspirin use after diagnosis but not prediagnosis improves established colorectal cancer survival: a meta-analysis

Abstract: These findings provide further indication that postdiagnosis aspirin therapy improved CRC overall survival, especially for patients with positive PTGS2 (COX-2) expression and mutated PIK3CA tumours.

“…Lastly, other molecular events or epidemiological factors within the TIL/MMR subtypes may impact prognosis or chemosensitivity, which could contribute to the observed subtype-specific survival differences. Evidence supports potential roles for APC mutation,44 chromosome instability,45 tumour-associated stroma,24 body mass index,46 smoking47 and aspirin,48 among other factors.…”

“…A new indication for aspirin as anticancer agent has been proposed in recent years [21][22][23][24][25]. This idea is mainly supported by data obtained from observational studies [26][27][28][29].…”

“…[30-33] The degree of lymphocytic infiltrate in CRC tissue has been associated with MSI status and better patient survival. [34-38] However, there is a paucity of data on epidemiologic exposures (such as plasma 25(OH)D level) combined with tumour molecular features and immune response in the tumour microenvironment in population-based studies.…”
